In association rule mining, interestingness refers to metrics that are applied to select association rules, beyond support and confidence. For example, Merceron & Yacef (2008) recommend that researchers use a combination of lift and cosine to select association rules, after first filtering out rules with low support and confidence. However, the empirical basis for considering these specific met...

This paper explores the feasibility of improving unmanned air vehicle (UAV) mission effectiveness by extracting energy from the atmosphere. Specifically, we consider an aerial surveillance mission in the vicinity of a geographic ridge. Cross winds flowing over the ridge produce regions of lift on the windward side that can be exploited to increase mission duration. Mission effectiveness is quan...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we investigate some results on natural metrics on the $mu$-normal functions and meromorphic $Q_p$-classes‎. ‎Also‎, ‎these classes are shown to be complete metric spaces with respect to the corresponding metrics‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎compact composition operators $C_phi$ and Lipschitz continuous operators acting from $mu$-normal functions to the meromorphic $Q_p$-classes are characte...

In this paper, we prove a fixed point theorem for a pair of generalized weakly contractive mappings in complete partial metric spaces. The theorems presented are generalizations of very recent fixed point theorems due to Abdeljawad, Karapinar and Tas. To emphasize the very general nature of these results, we illustrate an example.

In this paper, we study the existence of fixed points for mappings defined on complete metric space (X, d) satisfying a general contractive inequality depended on another function. This conditions is analogous of Banach conditions and general contraction condition of integral type.
